I am fucking gutted today by the loss of Bernie Wrightson, one of the greatest horror illustrators the world will ever know. I only met him once very briefly back in 2007 when he received a lifetime achievement award at Portland's annual H.P.

He was a gentle, kind, soft-spoken and ferociously talented and devoted artist. He will forever be missed. R.I.P.
